• Visual C# implementing the Equals method with and w/o override

  Hi, I'm using .NET 2003 with .NET Framework 1.1. I have a somewhat stupid question: I created a new class (MyClass) that represent some value and implemented the Equals method the following way: public bool Equals(Object obj) { // code here... } And if I try this code I get 'True' (since they hold the same value) MyClass c1 = new MyClass(<<some value >>); MyClass c2 = new MyClass(<<same value as above>>); Console.WriteLine(c1.Equals(c2)); BUT (!) if I insert c1 into an ArrayList and check: int index = myArrayList.IndexOf(c2); I get -1 on the index variable (c2 was not found). Now, if I add override to the Equals implementation signature: public ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView Column identify - VB 2005 Express Edition

  Hi, I'm using a databoud datagridview control. The dataset contains all the fields of the table and the grid is associated with that specific dataset. If I want to hide a column on the datagrid I can use the statment: dgvClassLocais.Columns.Item(1).Visible = False It works OK. But if I want to name the field (corresponding column 1 in the datagridview) I cannot. dgvClassLocais.Columns.Item("IDLocal").Visible = False ; gives an error Can you explain why Regards, Pedro Hi, to access a datagridview column by its name you need to pass the name in the cell property not the column property. ie. dim name as string name = DataGridVie ...Show All

• Visual Studio Cannot install VS 2005... UDF ISO-13346 issue

  Hey everyone, I'm having the devil of a time installing the VS trial version (team package) on my xp pro machine. I've been fiddling with it for the last 2 days and can't get the DVD to even recognize the UDF portion of the disc at all, which is where all the installation files are. argggg... I've tried extracting it with ISOBuster, which fails almost 1/3 of the way through. I've tried ripping it to an image with Nero and fails at 69%... And those are the only two programs that I have that will even recognize that there is a UDF partition on there... Explorer is clueless to its presence. Could anyone help me I would sooooo greatly appreciate. Thanks, Tim Hi, I had the same problem and als ...Show All

• .NET Development I fixed by OutOfMemory Exceptions. Can somebody tell me why???

  I have written/deployed a C# Windows Service using VS.NET 2003. This service, over a period of several days, would grow in size to over 700 meg and start getting OutOfMemory exceptions. Also, the Page Faults would number in the millions. The problem turned out to be in class level 2 XmlDocument objects. (Note: The class that used these 2 XmlDocument objects was a very busy class). The class would use these 2 XmlDocument objects to manipulate XML strings. The LoadXml() method was used to load the XML and then manipulate the XML as needed. There were 3 methods in this class that used these class level XmlDocument objects. So, I deleted these class level XmlDocument objects and used local XmlDocument objects within each method that requ ...Show All

• Visual C# Click Once Deployment error

  We have written an internal winform app for our users built on C# and .net 2.0. We are using the click once deployment and it installs fine and the app runs fine. However, when the application is closed an error is generated The instruction at "0x30cb0a4f" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "written". Click OK to terminate the program. We do not get this during design time, but only at run time when it is published. Has anyone seen this problem before I appreciate your help. Brian I get the same message. My VB.NET app is a simple form with a browser control (but has a child form). When I click the "x" it closes - but doesn't leave the task manager - until the ...Show All

• .NET Development StreamReader and nulls (\00

  Is there anyway to use the streamreader to read a file that contains nulls (\00) without the streamreader seeing it as an end of file. I have a situation where the file may contain nulls. Should this be done using the binaryreader How do you look at the returned string after reading it Keep in mind that many Windows APIs sees a null character as the end of the string, so if you print the string with Console.WriteLine, Debug.WriteLine or MessageBox.Show it may well be truncated. Instead I suggest you look at String.Length. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Managed Direct3D 10

  Since XNA only supports DirectX 9.0 Where is Managed Direct3D 10 I hope there will be Managed wrapper for Direct3D 10 thanks Thanks Michael, That was the answer I was looking for. (Official MDX10 way cool). I already did check out XNA it is awesome, But XNA is partially crippled because it had to make so many compromises in order to be multiplatform. That is why pure PC managed DX API is imperative in order for PC to remain competitive gaming platform. When creating MDX10 1- making close mapping between DX10 and MDX10 will considerably ease up migration from C++ to C#. 2- following .net design pattern make it much easier for .net programmer to use MDX10 sinc ...Show All
